We had a VERY productive day! Julie's flat fold and biscornu turned out beautifully and I finished up this little cutie, Lizzie*Kate's 2010 Snowman which has been sitting in my "finished bin" since 2012 (I'm afraid to admit, but I have much older pieces in there). I'm just so how pleased with how he turned out!

Stitched with Caron Waterlillies Dark Shadows
After our little finishing frenzy, our stitching came out. I started this little guy on Saturday and finished him up on Sunday. Once I put name, date and weight on him, he'll become a baby sampler for a friend. This JBW makes for a great and quick baby piece.

Last night, I finished up the very last Dove! As lovely as the Doves are I'm happy to see them done! This set will become ornaments, Christmas gifts this year. Sorry these doves just don't photograph well in artifical light.
So there we go, IHSW and Ornament SAL all in one post!
Your flatfold finish reminds me I have that same design sitting in my finished bin waiting patiently to be finished! I like the flatfold and think you have inspired me to finish it.

ReplyDeleteThese little white doves will make some terrific ornaments.
ReplyDeleteI love your flatfold finish. I also have alittle finish that I want to turn into a flatfold - my first. But finishing is also my weak side, sigh.
Congrats on finishing your doves!!! They look great. You must have great eyes to do all that work on dark fabric. I struggle so much with that now that I'm.....'older'. Heh.
ReplyDeleteLovely flatfold too! I have that piece framed and I never get tired of his cute little face.
The flatfold is lovely, something I have never tried to make.
ReplyDeleteI love the flatfold! So cute.
